Burress was re-signed earlier this week by the Steelers, who drafted him in 2000. He was needed because of injuries to Brown (ankle) and Jerricho Cotchery (ribs). Emmanuel Sanders will start in place of Brown, who was listed as questionable all week and was limited in practice.

Browns cornerback Joe Haden is active after missing last week's game in Dallas with an abdominal injury. Also, cornerback Buster Skrine will play after a concussion last week.

Fantasy take

It's unclear just how much playing time Burress will get for the Steelers, but with Batch under center and swirling winds expected in Cleveland, it's unlikely that he will have much of a fantasy impact. He could be a goal-line target, but fantasy owners can't bank on a TD in Burress' first game back. — Matt Lutovsky, Sporting News Fantasy Source
